context_page_description: The UOIT Engineering Students’ Society, also known as UOIT EngSoc, is the representative student body for all undergraduate full-time students enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. In addition to providing funding for engineering clubs and groups, UOIT EngSoc organizes professional development, extracurricular and sports events for over 1,800 members, proudly representing engineering students at Ontario's fastest growing university. Established and registered in 2003 under the Student Association at Durham College and UOIT originally as a club and later in 2008 as a society, UOIT EngSoc is one of the largest and most active students’ societies at the university. UOIT EngSoc is recognized by both the engineering faculties at UOIT and is formally affiliated with Canadian Federation of Engineering Students and the Engineering Students’ Societies’ Council of Ontario.
context_section_description: Veronica is the symbol of any student in FEAS and FESNS at UOIT; she is the symbol of the UOIT Engineering Students' Society (UOIT EngSoc).  Veronica is a graphical image with the gear with an atom. Veronica's history lies in the society's need to have a symbol for the representation of all engineering students UOIT.  The idea was originally codenamed "Vanna White," however it was later changed to Veronica and has since been established as the symbol of all engineering students at UOIT. Veronica has also been incorporated into the UOIT Engineering Student Society's Logo, representing as the ‘o’ in "EngSoc".
  In winter semester 2017 a number of engineering students acknowledged the glaring omission of a UOIT Engsoc mascot. A project was started to fabricate a physical Veronica gear to be brought to conferences. The 3D printed prototype has been seen at some events, although the final Veronica mascot is still yet to be completed. Funding has been provided by member levy fees and alumni.
